Museums:

Spain has given to the world many artists and master craftsmen, painters, etc. El Greco was a great painter who has created many masterly works through his brush. The house where he lived is now converted into a museum in his name called the ’Museum of El Greco’. Works of El Greco along with those of other artists are displayed in this museum. Coming parallel to this is the museum of Santa Cruz. This museum is housed in a building which was built in the 16th century as a hospital. But this is now converted into a museum where tapestries and many other works of art and artifacts are displayed. Many artifacts recovered during archaeological excavations are displayed here.

The other famous museum is the museum of Foundation Duaque de Lerma. According to history this museum was built as per the orders of Cardinal Tavera in the fifteenth century. A church was also built and the statue of Tavera was installed under the dome of the church.
